EMachines to Cut Jobs
In Streamlining Effort

IRVINE, Calif. -- EMachines Inc. said it plans to streamline its operations to reduce the impact of the online-advertising slump, and will cut 16% of its staff as a result.

The personal-computer seller said it will eliminate resources dedicated to the company's proprietary Internet products, such as eWare, eKeys and pop-up advertising, and focusing on its Internet-service-provider products.
